Hey everyone,

Couldn't find anything on this in the forum, so I thought I'd start the thread.

Basically I was considering moving into pressing rockets rather than ramming, which would allow for whistles and whistle/BP hybrid drivers.
I realised the easiest way for smaller size engines < 1 lb, an arbor press would probably be best. Except that the clearance isn't big enough for most tooling, unless if it's a custom made special short tooling or something.
Basically, has anyone had any past experience in modifying arbor presses? (I know witchitta buggy did something with it, but only gave good details on changing a hydaulic press)

Cheers

hi, its been done many times before, the basic jist is, drilling holes in the bottom of the arbor "foot", passing threaded rod though to a sturdy plate underneath, details here
